When this arrived I expected a cheaply made product,  because the shipping box was much smaller than expected.  Then I picked the box up to move it and couldn't believe how heavy it was! It was packed very carefully and even with a few chips in the box from shipping,  there was zero damage to the pieces.  Took about an hour to get together,  mostly because of the great detail they put into the cabinet.  Once together we were extremely happy with the quality and style of the piece.  As you can see it looks great and will function really well too.
